The act is one example of how political asylum policy is intertwined with international security issues.</div><br /><div><br />In this project, Amy Shuman and co-author Carol Bohmer of Dartmouth College examine how humanitarian concerns for refugees come into conflict with security concerns in the United States and Britain. While the goal of political asylum is to provide refuge for the applicant, the process must also protect the state. This contradiction is at the root of current problems in the system.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>This project builds on previous Mershon-supported research by Shuman and Bohmer that resulted in <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.routledgepolitics.com/books/Rejecting-Refugees-isbn9780415773768" target="_blank">Rejecting Refugees: Political Asylum in the 21st Century (Routledge, 2008). Using in-depth accounts by asylum applicants and interviews with lawyers and others involved, this book shows what it is like to apply for asylum in the United States and Great Britain, and explores the central obstacles facing asylum applicants.</a><br /></div><br /><div>Now Shuman and Bohmer are examining how the identity of asylum seekers is represented in the media and public policy, including both asylum policy and security policy. Their data will include ethnographic observation of hearings, interviews with asylum applicants and lawyers, review of policies, and review of a wide variety of media from newspaper accounts to online postings by international aid agencies.<br /></div><br /><div>Shuman and Bohmer hope to answer two questions. First, why are asylum applicants under such suspicion? Their previous research found that although the system is vulnerable to abuse, terrorists prefer to stay under the radar and are not applying for asylum. Second, what is the relationship between asylum policy and foreign policy?<br /></div><br /><div><strong>The researchers also hope to learn what types of documents are available to various populations in different countries. For example, education records; birth, marriage, and death certificates; medical records; and identity documents such as passports are not always available in each </strong><strong>country.</strong></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>More info, please visit:</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://mershoncenter.osu.edu/expertise/institutions/asylum.htm">http://mershoncenter.osu.edu/expertise/institutions/asylum.htm</a></div><div></div><div></div>ChunHuihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06645641313676943816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504226476201185827.post-91461818207628046062008-10-10T12:25:00.000-07:002008-10-10T12:27:27.648-07:00Author to discuss history and politics of veiling!!!<strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Thursday, October 16, 2008</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Jennifer Heath "The Veil: Visible and Invisible Spaces"</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">4 p.m</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Mershon Center for International Security Studies, 1501 Neil Ave.</span></strong><br /><br /><br />Jennifer Heath is the editor of <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://ucpress.typepad.com/ucpresslog/2008/06/the-veil-women.html" target="_blank">The Veil: Women Writers on Its History, Lore, and Politics</a> (University of California Press, 2008). She is an independent scholar, curator and writer, the author of nine works of fiction and non-fiction, including <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.jenniferheath.com/scimitar.htm" target="_blank">The Scimitar and The Veil: Extraordinary Women of Islam</a> and <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.jenniferheath.com/housewhite.htm" target="_blank">A House White With Sorrow: A Ballad for Afghanistan</a>.<br />Heath discusses the veiling of women, men, and sacred places and objects, which has existed in countless cultures and religions throughout history. Today, veiling is a globally polarizing issue, a locus for the struggle between Islam and the West and between contemporary and traditional interpretations of Islam. But veiling was a practice long before Islam and still extends far beyond the Middle East.<br /><br />Heath's multimedia presentation -- including a 24-minute film, Hollywood Harems, by Tania Kamal-Eldin -- will explore and examine the history and politics of veiling around the world.ChunHuihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06645641313676943816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504226476201185827.post-52422640257306462612008-10-10T07:23:00.000-07:002008-10-10T07:29:35.104-07:00Encyclopedia of Asian American Folklore: Call for Contributors<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=2ba49e84434c918fd2db6fb9a8902bda">Click here </a>to read the contents of a call for contributors to the <span style="font-style:italic;">Encyclopedia of Asian American Folklore</span>, to be published in 2010.Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15639807857129601177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504226476201185827.post-2910197343701757672008-10-09T16:55:00.000-07:002008-10-09T16:58:17.653-07:00Pumpkin Festival Oct.15th to 18thThe Circleville Pumpkin Festival!!!<br /><br />If you are interested in this please visit:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.pumpkinshow.com/schedule/index.htm">http://www.pumpkinshow.com/schedule/index.htm</a><br /><br />Have Fun!!!ChunHuihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06645641313676943816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504226476201185827.post-80160135500250880842008-10-07T15:41:00.000-07:002008-10-07T15:43:47.530-07:00Pizzuti art collecting talk Oct 12<strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ccffff;">"Contemporary Collecting from Local to Global"</span></strong><br />byRon Pizzuti Art Collector Chairman and CEO of The Pizzuti Companies<br />in conjunction with the<br /><strong>"Objects of Wonder from The Ohio State University"</strong><br /> exhibition Columbus Museum of Art Sunday, October 12 2:00 pmRon Pizzuti is the Chairman and CEO of The Pizzuti Companies.
